Looks like Mad Max’s Bicycle
Okt 29th, 2009 by Jeroen
This really is Mad Max country! Saw this awesome – or I should say grouse – looking bicycle today when I went to Port Adelaide to pick up my stuff coming in from Rotterdam. It’s a Dunlop Bushranger mountain bike with a small, one cylinder engine fitted on to it. The great thing is that all the original bicycle gears still work. I suppose the owner starts the engine when going uphill or something.
It has sprockets on both sides of the wheel. On the right side the original bicycle gears, on the left side a sprocket driven by the engine.
Those are engines made specifically for bikes, they clamp right onto the front tube and the seat tube, they’re made in China and tons of sites sell them online.
There’s a pretty good forum out there that has a ton of information, if you search google for motor bicycle forum you’ll find it and tons of other sites.
